To turn off the STB BEEPER COLLAR or STB HAWK COLLAR, place the activation magnet on the magnetic red dot on the system. Hold them together until the LED light turns red. The system will play a melody when it is turned off.

2. Beeper Function
The STB BEEPER COLLAR will always start in the Run/ Point Mode. To change to the Point-Only Mode, turn the system on and place the activation magnet to the red dot on the STB BEEPER COLLAR for 1 second and release.
When the Point-Only Mode is selected, the STB BEEPER COLLAR will emit a beep sound. If you want to change to the Run/Point Mode again, repeat the same procedure by turning the system on and placing the activation magnet to the red dot on the STB BEEPER COLLAR for 1 second and release.
In the Run/Point Mode, there will be a double beep every 7 seconds while the dog is running and a double beep every  2 seconds when the dog is pointing/stationary.
In the Point-Only Mode, the beeper will remain silent while the dog is running and double beep every 2 seconds when the dog is pointing/stationary.

In the Point-Only Mode, the beeper will remain silent while the dog is running and a single hawk sound every 2 seconds when the dog is pointing/stationary.

4. Receiver Fitting
Proper Fit
The receiver should be fitted so that it has close contact with your dog’s neck to ensure proper usage. You should be able to fit a finger in between the product and your dog’s skin. The best location is on either side of the dog’s windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the receiver to move around on the dog’s neck, which may rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent.

Attention!
Leaving the receiver in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long periods, occasionally reposition the receiver every few hours to a different location on the dog’s neck and remove the receiver after eight hours of usage. Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use the unit.

5. LED Indicator

Located on the front of the system, the LED indicator flashes every 4 seconds when the receiver is on and ready for use.
The LED indicator color indicates the battery life level.
Green = Full charge
Amber = Medium charge
Red = Needs charge
If the unit is used while the LED indicator is red, it may shut down automatically.

6. Charging the Battery

The Dogtra STB BEEPER COLLAR and STB HAWK COLLAR use a lithium polymer battery. Recharge the unit if the indicator light is red or does not come on.
NOTE 1: Only use Dogtra-approved batteries, chargers, and accessories for your Dogtra system. This will prevent any damage that can be incurred from attempting to use a different charger.
NOTE 2: The unit has a partial charge when it leaves the Dogtra facility. Upon receipt of the system, be sure to give it a full 2-hour initial charge before the first use away from any flammable substances.
NOTE 3: When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Fully charge the batteries if the unit is to be stored without use for a period of 3 months or more.

Follow the steps below to charge your system:

1. Open the rubber plug on the battery charging receptacle and plug in the charging cable.

2.  Plug the charger into a 120-volt wall outlet or, if using the auto charger, plug into a cigarette lighter only for
   lithium polymer batteries (use a 220-volt European charger for Europe). All indicator lights should glow red
   when properly plugged in and the unit will automatically shut off during the charging process. You will need to
   turn the unit on again before use once the unit is fully charged and unplugged from the battery cable.

3.  The lithium-polymer battery is fully charged within 2 hours. The lights will stay red during the charging
   process and turn green once the unit is fully charged.

4.  After charging, cover the battery charging receptacles with rubber plugs.

MAINTENANCE

Basic Maintenance
Make sure the rubber charging cap is securely in place when the system is in use. After each training session, carefully inspect the unit for any missing parts or damage to the casing. The damaged or broken casing may affect the waterproof guarantee on the unit. After confirming that there is no damage to the casing, rinse the receiver and clean out any dirt or debris.
Storage Maintenance
The STB BEEPER COLLAR or STB HAWK COLLAR should be fully charged before storing for extended periods. While in storage, the unit should be given a full charge once a month, and before the first use. Store the units in room temperature. Do not keep the units exposed to extreme climates.

Troubleshooting

If the unit is malfunctioning, please refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” before sending it to Dogtra for service. If you have any questions or concerns, you may email them to info@dogtra.com, or call customer service at 888-811-9111.
